18 CommentsJust stopping by? Have you tried my coconut peanut butter honey overnight oats yet? Or maybe you’d like to try your hand at my chocolate-covered raisin hemp balls or raw tuna fish-less salad. And you simply HAVE to try my latest, simple creation: Coconut Peanut Butter Cream. YUM! And don’t forget to take a peek at my Thanksgiving holiday eats + treats – or my interview with ShimmerOrganics owner, Lisa Ann Turkel!
The last time I tried to make raw flax seed crackers, they ended up being a flop, thus the new Healing With (Raw) Juices category: Raw Flops.
But these… these were NOT a flop!
Delicious Flax Crackers!
I soaked my flax seeds overnight. And this time, I used red and green bell peppers (like the recipe called for). I still used apple in the place of the zucchini – but this time I left the peel on.
Into the Blender
I forgot to take a photo of the other ingredients before I blended ‘em up! But here’s what it looks like when all the ingredients are whipped in the blender….
I added my juicy concoction to the soaked flax seeds….
Then I added the ground flax.
Stirred It Up
HimalaSalt = YUM!
I bought parchment paper this time! 
I decided to add a few shakes of Mexican Seasoning to one tray of the mixture.
Here’s the four trays the recipe yields!
Up close
I cranked it up more this time (about 120).
Look at my crackers! Yay!
Some raw flax crackers all plated up. 
Look at how crispy and beautiful!
I used the same recipe for inspiration as last time, from The Raw Food Revolution Diet
I’ve enjoyed these crackers with sliced avocado, by themselves, with a drizzle of agave, a smear of nut butter, with salad…. SO delicious!
This post has actually been set to publish for a few days now, but I noticed Gena (from www.choosingraw.com) just published her raw juice pulp cracker recipe. Do check that out, too! I’m going to make her version as well.
Oh, and I’m also going to make some time to experiment in the coming weeks, and I’ll share the recipes I come up with on my own….
Have you tried your hand at raw crackers yet – with or without a dehydrator? Do you have Cherie’s book? If so, what do you think about it? Do you love it? Have you made good use of it? (I have a review coming up of my copy!)
Those look really good. I don’t have a dehydrator. I know Alton Brown made his own with a fan and some furnace filters, though!

Great crackers, Michele!!!!
Ok so I know you’re not posting the exact recipe, but just to get it straight, you’re putting in whole, soaked flax seeds AND Some ground flax seeds. So you’ve got a half chunky/half smooth thing going with the flax?
Mexican seasoning, nice touch…
but yeah I can guess 
I would do cinnamon, nutmeg for sweet
And cumin, mexican, ginger, chili powder or along those lines for savory. Great “base” recipe that can be tweaked. I don’t need another cookbook
I have 2 give aways right now…I think you’ll like em!

Thanks, Averie1
Yes, whole (soaked) flax seeds and then ground flax seeds added at the end. I tried it without the correct amount of ground flax seeds and even if they wouldn’t have stuck to the wax paper (LOL!) they didn’t have near the texture these do.
Yeah, I’m gonna make apple-cinnamon ones next. Yum!
Thanks for the heads-up about your giveaways. I’ll try to get the entries in – I just haven’t had the time I’d like to lately.
Hugs!
Michele

Looks great! I love flax crackers! I’ve never used apple in place of zucchini but sounds yummy – I’ll have to try your version.

Thanks, Heidi! Oh, the apples are a nice touch. I love ‘em!

oh, I LOVE crackers and this is probably the real reason I want a dehydrator. I try to lightly bake mine. never had a good recipe yet. They end up crumbly
NICE NICE JOB

I’ve never tried One Lucky Duck’s products – maybe someday!
They are yummy. You could make some crackers in the oven, though.

Those really looks delicious! Hope I can have one =)
